Hydrodynamic Forcing and Sediment Character in Boston Harbor
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Calculated annual excess skin friction stress at various locations in Quincy Bay (outer Boston Harbor) was found to be correlated positively with sediment sand content. The correlation was optimized when a critical shear stress (τ
Closure to “Simple Formula to Estimate Settling Velocity of Natural Sediments” by José A. Jiménez and Ole S. Madsen

A Simple Formula to Estimate Settling Velocity of Natural Sediments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simple formula to calculate the settling velocity of natural sediment particles for grain sizes between 0.063 and 1 mm is presented. The formula has been derived from the previous work of Dietrich, and it predicts the ...
Erosional and Mechanical Strengths of Deposited Cohesive Sediments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Erosion tests were run on soft cohesive sediment beds freshly deposited from a concentrated slurry, in a large rotating annular flume. A total of seven tests were carried out with the bed age varying between 1.8 and 18.9 ...
